It didn’t take long after the opening of our Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center for its impact to be felt across the community and even further. Yes, it was a milestone as a significant teaching facility, but even more important was that it represented our continued move in recent years into the research arena. In fact, the College of Pharmacy just received the university’s first National Institutes of Health grant for research over the next five years which could impact breast cancer treatment.

Impressive recognition for a university of our size. But not surprising, given our commitment to creating far-reaching science and health sciences programs with a mission to benefit others. From our highly ranked pharmacy and nursing schools to a new master’s in pharmacy informatics and a developing physician’s assistance program, we’re strengthening our longtime reputation for graduating students who academically and spiritually have what it takes to make a difference.

For the first time, our pharmaceutical research is being taken for granted.

THE STRING SECTIONS

What does it take to own and maintain a stringed instrument?

By Rebecca Cole, Musicians of the Nashville Symphony BACK STAGE

N

early every week, the musicians of the Nashville Symphony play great classical and contemporary music. Naturally, we strive to produce the sounds that will connect the composers to our audience. Often this means putting a lot of effort and expense into acquiring and maintaining the musical instruments that become our voices when we take the stage.

Most Nashville Symphony string players own several instruments (including an “outdoor” instrument), and between two and 10 bows. The average investment in instruments and bows by our string players is over $85,000. Buying a string instrument or bow is not the same as buying a painting, or even a house. It is more like finding your soul mate. Every instrument has unique tonal qualities — its own sound, voice and personality.

Finding the instrument whose voice matches the musician’s sense of sound and complements his or her playing style can be a quest.

Each instrument and bow has its own feel and response. Some respond more easily than others, and instruments respond differently to different players. Over time, a string instrument may actually shape the musician’s technique and approach to the music. Finally, the musician must feel physically comfortable playing that instrument or bow — no two musicians look for exactly the same thing.

To buy our first fine instruments, many musicians have had help from sacrificing parents or family members. Most of us have saved every penny, making the quest to find our instrument a priority.

As our careers progress, we continue to save, take out second mortgages and loans, and even trade in an instrument to buy a better one. The Nashville

Symphony Association covers our instrument insurance, but the purchase and upkeep of the instruments is each musician’s responsibility.

Because of our relationships with our instruments, classical musicians are notoriously protective of the instruments in our care. We never leave them locked in cars, and we are vigilant about protecting them from harmful conditions and accidents. Direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and low humidity can cause serious damage and cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to repair. Every musician has a horror story about a car door hitting his or her case, the drama of getting the instrument into the overhead compartment on an airplane, or a having the instrument case knocked over.

Keeping our instruments in good performing shape also requires maintenance and repair.

Maintenance includes having the bow hair replaced (yes, it is horse hair) and changing the strings. Most NSO musicians re-hair each bow at least once a season. Because re-hairing a fine bow requires skill and experience, many players ship their bows to an expert. Nashville Symphony string players go through two to four sets of strings each season, spending between $200 and $900.

The string players in your Nashville Symphony take pride in our musical soul mates and the music we produce together for you. At your next concert, take time to notice all the beautiful instruments that help us create the music you enjoy.

Elevating education to a fine art.

It should come as no surprise that a school known for its academics is equally recognized for its fine art programs. Whether art, chorus, band, drama or theater, students are able to discover and pursue their own creative talents in new and exciting ways. As part of Lipscomb University, they are also able to do it on a much larger stage with access to first-class art studios, a variety of performance venues and collegiate-level instructional experiences.

Our choruses continue to receive high honors and top state rankings, outstanding musicals are performed year-round and, most recently, our band received superior ratings and was asked to perform at the state concert festival held at Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music.

Come by the campus for a tour, meet a few of our faculty or attend an upcoming information session. See just how we elevate our students to reach their potential...and beyond.

ABOUT THE ARTIST DAVE KOZ, saxophone Over the decades, the saxophone has opened numerous doors for Dave Koz. He’s played with such artists as Burt Bacharach, Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Kenny Loggins, U2, Barry Manilow, Luther Vandross and Rod Stewart. He’s become a Platinum-selling artist with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is also known as a humanitarian, entrepreneur, radio host and instrumental music advocate.

Born and raised in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, Koz initially saw the saxophone as a way to help him gain entry into his big brother’s band. What began as a ploy became a lifelong obsession. After graduating from UCLA, he decided to become a professional musician.

Within weeks, he was recruited as a touring member of Bobby Caldwell’s band. It was during this time that Koz befriended keyboardist Jeff Lorber, who invited Koz to play on one of his tours. That stint was followed by a 14-month tour with Richard Marx.

Signed to Capitol Records, Koz released his self-titled solo debut album in 1990. This was the first in a body of best-selling work, which includes the Gold-certified Lucky Man (1993), Off the Beaten Path (1996) and the holiday-themed albums December Makes Me Feel This Way (1997) and Dave Koz & Friends — A Smooth Jazz Christmas (2001).

His Gold-certified fifth album, The Dance (1999), spawned no less than five Top 5 contemporary jazz hits. Saxophonic (2003) produced another four Top 5 singles and garnered Koz two GRAMMY® nominations.

Koz is constantly touring, with annual summer and holiday tours, and the highly successful Dave Koz & Friends at Sea. Koz, who has hosted four sold-out cruises thus far, will be exploring “The Ultimate Caribbean” with fans and fellow artists on his February 2016 cruise.

As a philanthropist, Koz has served for 19 years as global ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

THE MET SINGERS The MET (Metropolitan Nashville) Singers is comprised of students in grades 2-12. Choral Arts Link is the nonprofit umbrella of The MET Singers and is an advocate of quality choral training and civic performance opportunities for singers in public, private and home schools. We extend our appreciation to Kelly Corcoran for her vision and encouragement to present new quality works.

The Drummer is a project of Choral Arts Link’s WritingWorks! program, which produces new, high-quality choral compositions, beginning with Tennessee composers. In recognition of the Sesquicentennial Civil War celebration, The Drummer takes a glimpse into the mind of a child impacted by battle life during the time of the American Civil War. The composer of The Drummer is Dr. Paul T. Kwami, musical director and Curb-Beaman Chair of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Born in Ghana, he studied music at Ghana’s National Academy of Music and taught there until immigrating to the U.S. in 1983 to study at Fisk University. He promptly joined the Jubilee Singers. Kwami is

the first African to direct the ensemble, and the first to hold the Curb-Beaman Chair position.

He received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in conducting from the American Conservatory of Music.

Orchestrator for the project is Joshua Carter, a composer, songwriter and arranger who is orchestral music coordinator for Ben Folds.

Poet and lyricist Margaret Campbelle-Holman is founder of The MET Singers, a composer of choral literature and author of a three-book series published by McGraw-Hill Education.

She is the visionary and co-lyricist of the official Tennessee Bicentennial School Song, premiered

by Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools singers during the 1996 celebration at Bicentennial Mall.

Envisioned as several excerpts From a Diary of a Colored Soldier, the text of The Drummer is dedicated to the 13th Infantry Regiment of the United States Colored Soldiers. From this perspective, the poem discovers and recognizes the shared values, hopes and fears of three historical voices: the blue (North), the gray (South) and the colored soldiers.

Born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg, Germany; died on November 4, 1847, in Leipzig, Germany Overture to The Hebrides

S ERIES

Composed: 1829-1830; revised 1832 First performance: May 14, 1832, in London, with Thomas Attwood conducting First Nashville Symphony performance: October 28, 1947, with Music Director William Strickland Estimated length: 10 minutes

I

n 1829, the young Felix Mendelssohn embarked on an extensive “grand tour” throughout Europe. During these travels he stored up experiences that served over the years as the inspiration for several of his compositions.

One of these was The Hebrides, a vivid miniature tone poem that conveys Mendelssohn’s awe-inspiring impressions of the islands off Scotland’s west coast. After finishing up his participation in the concert season in London, the composer undertook a walking tour of Scotland. In a letter home reporting on his adventures, Mendelssohn described a “strange mood” that overcame him when he glimpsed the Hebrides; he also enclosed a sketch of the music that spontaneously occurred to him. Worked out in surprising detail, these measures later furnished the Overture’s opening, which contains its principal thematic ideas. In fact, the misty view of the islands in the distance inspired the multitalented Mendelssohn to capture the scene not only in sound, but in a pen-and-ink drawing as well.

A day later Mendelssohn sailed over to visit the famed Fingal’s Cave on the bleak, uninhabited island of Staffa. Though the composer suffered a terrible bout of seasickness, the sight of these cave-riddled cliffs and their immense black basalt columns lodged in his memory. “For solemnity and grandeur it far surpasses the finest cathedral,” Keats wrote about Fingal’s Cave.

24

M A RC H 2 0 1 5

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R Mendelssohn left no explicit program for the Overture, which was written as an independent piece for the concert hall rather than as an actual “overture” to a stage work. Still, the alternative titles he considered — including The Lonely Island and Fingal’s Cave — suggest a variety of associations, both scenic and literary. For one thing, the allure of Scottish folklore was very much on the composer’s mind. (On the tour he had paid an impromptu visit to Sir Walter Scott, whose fame was then at its height.) The Overture’s distant fanfares may hint at a bard-like evocation of Fingal, a legendary Celtic warrior who had tried to expel the invading Norse from the Hebrides.

Unlike the earlier Overture to a Midsummer Night’s Dream, however, the music refers to no specific literary source.

All the same, with its wondrous evocation of atmosphere, The Hebrides numbers among several Mendelssohn concert overtures that paved the way for the Romantic genre of the tone poem.

Wagner, notorious for his anti-Semitic attacks on Mendelssohn, in fact admired this score. (Listen again to “The Ride of the Valkyries,” written in the same key, and notice some “borrowed” effects.)

Several commentators even detect a kind of incipient Impressionism in the music’s subtle play of nuances.

Yet what is quintessential Mendelssohn is how the composer molds his material with a

ichard Danielpour has developed a distinctive voice by rethinking Romanticism and other musical languages of the past from a contemporary perspective. He casts his net wide, drawing on diverse sources, including Britten, Shostakovich and Stravinsky, along with American forerunners such as Copland, Barber and Bernstein. In recent seasons, the Nashville Symphony has performed the world premiere of his symphony Darkness in the Ancient Valley and his song cycle A Woman’s Life, which adapts texts by Maya Angelou.

The composer once remarked that his earlier music reveals “an opera composer in disguise” who found inspiration in the “hidden plot” provided by poetic texts and even by his dreams.

A vehicle for the powerhouse baritone Thomas Hampson, Songs of Solitude originated in a very dark time: It was on September 11, 2001, that he had settled down to the task of proofreading the score for his large-scale work An American Requiem, which had already occupied him for a year. Danielpour’s design had been to write a piece

that addressed “the insanity of war,” interlacing the texts of the Latin service with the work of American poets.

As the composer learned of the terrorist attacks, he began feel as if the Requiem “in some strange and eerie way” had anticipated the nightmare that was occurring. Thus he decided “to consciously create something that would be a response to the issues surrounding such an awful tragedy. I was especially drawn to the need for peace in troubled times.”

As it happened, the composer was just beginning a retreat at the secluded Copland House in the lower Hudson River Valley — the former longtime residence of Aaron Copland.

Danielpour had brought along poetry collections by the Persian mystic Rumi and by William Butler Yeats, with a view to selecting texts for a new commission for Thomas Hampson and the Philadelphia Orchestra. He found himself gravitating toward the intensely concentrated imagery of Yeats, with its evocations of “apocalyptic moments [he] experienced after

the First World War.” These provided a natural continuation of what Danielpour had been wrestling with in the American Requiem.

The Copland House set the tone for the air of solitude and reflection that pervades Songs of Solitude. Danielpour points out that the plainness of the house inspired a new sense of economy and sparseness in his own composition, as did the oracular tone of the great Irishman’s poetry. He compares the basic emotional trajectory traced in his song cycle to the “stages of grief ” as outlined

by Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, although there is no “literal correspondence, bar by bar.” Danielpour sketched the entire cycle at unusual speed, in less than a month.

W HAT TO LISTE N F OR Danielpour tailored the vocal settings of Songs of Solitude for Hampson’s lyrical, expressive baritone. The orchestra, meanwhile, provides expressive commentary that intensifies the emotional resonance of the text. The six movements segue directly into each other, with a framework at the beginning and end based on the same musical material. The Prologue (“A Meditation in Time of War”) begins with a solo trumpet melody against flowing triplets, while the vocal line descends with a weary gravitational pull. The tolling chimes and woodwind solos anticipate significant gestures to come.

Setting the first stanza of Yeats’ poem “Blood and the Moon,” the second song introduces a dramatically violent sonority in keeping with the imagery of “a bloody, arrogant power.” The music tends toward the incantatory, with directions for the singer to become “ethereal, dreamlike” as he evokes Gregorian chant.

“Drinking Song,” which turns to the third and fourth stanzas of “Blood and the Moon,” suddenly injects a vernacular strain, its striding bass and jazz syncopations echoing the aggressive symphonic jazz of West Side Story. The sound of the chimes comes to the fore again in the fourth song (“These Are the Clouds”) and sets off the soloist’s a cappella passages.

A slight pause leads to the most extensive song of the cycle, which is based on Yeats’ best-known poem of apocalypse, “The Second Coming.” Danielpour establishes a triple-meter pulse throughout, which evokes both an ominous tread and the sense of a relentless pattern. At the phrase “the blood-dimmed tide is loosed,” he asks for “light, transparent” singing, soft but not quite falsetto, before the soloist dramatically returns to full voice. Numerous brief orchestral interludes underline the sense of anxious expectation.

As an epilogue, Danielpour sets the first stanza of Yeats’ “Vacillation,” with its pithy portrayal of human “extremities.” A musical response to the question posed by the poem — “What is joy?” — this closing song returns to the strains that opened the cycle, adding new colors to his orchestration for the solo trumpet melody, as the music comes to a gentle, openended rest.

In addition to solo baritone, Songs of Solitude is scored for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 3 clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 3 bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, 3 percussionists, celesta, piano, harp and strings.

III. DRINKING SONG The purity of the unclouded moon Has flung its arrowy shaft upon the floor.

Seven centuries have passed and it is pure; The blood of innocence has left no stain.

There, on blood-saturated ground, have stood Soldier, assassin, executioner, Whether for daily pittance or in blind fear Or out of abstract hatred, and shed blood, But could not cast a single jet thereon.

Odour of blood on the ancestral stair!

And we that have shed none must gather there And clamour in drunken frenzy for the moon.

Upon the dusty, glittering windows cling, And seem to cling upon the moonlit skies, Tortoiseshell butterflies, peacock butterflies.

A couple of night-moths are on the wing.

Is every modern nation like the tower, Half dead at the top? No matter what I said, For wisdom is the property of the dead, A something incompatible with life; and power, Like everything that has the stain of blood, A property of the living; but no stain Can come upon the visage of the moon When it has looked in glory from a cloud.

V. THE SECOND COMING Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

VI. EPILOGUE (VACILLATION) Between extremities Man runs his course; A brand, or flaming breath, Comes to destroy All those antinomies Of day and night; The body calls it death, The heart remorse.

But if these be right What is joy?

a more emotionally heightened arioso to fullscale aria. All of these are summarized in the long final song, which includes a climactic high G-flat on the phrase “in the midnight waking.”

The prominent solo cello in this piece mirrors the baritone’s pained eloquence and has the final say as its thread dies out amid a gently sustained chord of E-flat major from the other strings.

War Songs represents a composer’s effort “to shine a light on the real brutality of war and the effect it has on those surviving the loss of loved ones.” In making it present to us as art, Danielpour warns us: “Be very careful the next time your leaders and politicians decide to wage war.

perceive the succession of slow movements as monotonous.” The eerie waltz of “Look Down Fair Moon,” for example, evokes feelings far removed from the “shell-shocked” posture (a score indication for the soloist) of “Year That Trembled and Reel’d Beneath Me.” Indeed the emotional temperature, orchestral texture and vocal style vary from song to song.

“These songs are all about witnessing,” observes Danielpour. “When a composer creates a role for a singer as witness, he has the choice for the melodies to be in the voice — an Italianate sensibility — or to be in the instruments — a more German sensibility. What I do is a combination. Sometimes the tunes are actually in the vocal line. Sometimes they are in the orchestra. What that sets up is a conversation in this process of witnessing: so you have additional witnesses in the voices from the orchestra.”

T

he Eighth Symphony has long been unjustly overshadowed by the symphonies that immediately preceded and followed it. Beethoven voiced his own annoyance with those who underestimated its quality — a tendency already apparent when the Eighth was first performed on a program with the Seventh and the blatantly populist Wellington’s Victory. There’s some irony in this misunderstanding, since it was just at this point in his career that Beethoven’s music began to appeal to a more widespread public.

Soon Beethoven was being admired by his successors for the revolutionary and “heroic” character identified with his odd-numbered symphonies; the symphonies in between, by contrast, were often seen as a kind of “relaxation” after such epic efforts, and hence thought to represent tamer beasts. Something of this bias lies behind Robert Schumann’s familiar metaphor for the Fourth Symphony, for example, as a “slender Greek maiden between two Norse giants.”

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The sense of invention that undergirds the Eighth bursts out in the opening measures. As the main theme keeps unfolding, we realize it’s made up of variations on the pithy, six-note phrase we heard at the outset — all linked together in what is actually a surprisingly drawn-out first theme. The entire first movement plays off this tension between compression and expansion. So, too, the good-humored charm of the opening is contrasted with something more urgent, even primal, which comes to the fore in the deafening crescendo Beethoven builds as he develops these ideas, reaching an extraordinary climax just as he reprises the opening theme. The composer himself said he had composed the Eighth in an “unbuttoned” spirit: this is one such moment, as are the many instances of gruff comedy elsewhere in the score.

There is no soul-stirring slow movement but, instead, a kind of interlude in which Beethoven seems to mock the very notion of measuring musical time. The standard explanation for the incessant tut-tut-tut pulse sustained by the woodwinds is that the composer was paying tongue-in-cheek tribute to the eccentric inventor Johann Nepomuk Maelzel, who would soon patent his version of the metronome.

Even today it’s common to encounter condescending appraisals of the Eighth as a step backward. But these critiques mistake the work’s concision and relative brevity for “lightweight” music and its references to the past as a reactionary “retreat.” Listen closely, and you’ll enjoy one of the finest examples of Beethoven’s genius for transforming modest, seemingly unpromising musical ideas into an extravaganza of bold imagination.

The cliché of odd-versus even-numbered symphonies as antitheses falls apart when we realize that the Eighth shares some fundamental features in common with the Seventh Symphony — above all, the prominent role of rhythmic drive in the work. Much as he had worked simultaneously on the Fifth and Sixth, Beethoven sketched out ideas for the Seventh and Eighth around the same time and then proceeded to compose these two symphonies back to back.

the Maelzel connection here; after all, Haydn had played a similar game almost two decades earlier in the “ticking” rhythm of his “Clock” Symphony (No. 101). In any case, Beethoven cleverly “fits” the melody into the mechanistic time-keeping before it all goes haywire in the speeded-up mania of the last measures.

Beethoven’s substitution of a minuet for his usual high-energy Scherzo is sometimes perceived as an “old-fashioned” move, but off-kilter accents show his unmistakable stamp. And in the finale we encounter Beethoven at his most innovative.

He reimagines the Classical rondo form, typically used to effect a light-hearted conclusion, and stretches its implications so that this finale contains the Symphony’s most substantial ideas.

In this way, far from looking backward, Beethoven even anticipates the weighted-finale structure of the Ninth Symphony.

The closing movement’s main theme, in keeping with the rest of the work, is deceptively simple. Beethoven teases with ambiguities of rhythm and even volume. All is a whisper until the first brusque explosion — a blast of C-sharp,

an absurdity that has no place in the home key of F major. In the coda, which Beethoven stretches to outrageous proportions, this nonsequitur at last starts to make sense, when it pushes the entire argument off course into a distant key — leaving the trumpets and timpani to lasso the orchestra back on track.

In the finale to his First Symphony, Beethoven had already parodied the process of composition itself. Here, as he pounds away at the F major home key with an insistence that’s over-the-top, Beethoven seems to poke fun at the “heroic” manner of those celebrated odd-numbered symphonies. Is there a more hilarious ending than the punch-drunk finale of the Eighth?

Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony is scored for pairs each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets, along with timpani and strings.

divided into four touring choirs. Between them, the four choirs give around 300 concerts and performances each year in front of almost half a million people.

The choir’s repertoire includes everything from medieval to contemporary and experimental music. Motets and lieder for boys’ choir form the core of the touring repertoire, as do the choir’s own arrangements of quintessentially Viennese music, waltzes and polkas by Lanner and Strauss.

The Vienna Boys’ Choir has a long tradition of commissioning new works, going back to imperial times, when composers like Mozart and Haydn wrote for the ensemble.

The Vienna Boys’ Choir performs major choral and symphonic works, and are regularly asked to supply soloists for large choral and orchestral works. In recent years, they have performed with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Berlin and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

INTERMISSION

ABOUT THE ARTIST NATALIE MACMASTER Equally at home on the concert stage or at a folk festival, Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster is one of the most versatile and exciting musicians on the folk and Celtic music scenes. Her many projects have seen her collaborate and perform with Alison Krauss, The Chieftains, Paul Simon, Yo-Yo Ma and Pavarotti.

Her live performances are a testament to her incandescent musicianship and boundless energy, featuring foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-rending ballads and world-class step dancing.

MacMaster began her fiddling career at 16, releasing her debut album Four on the Floor. Her musical venture now spans over three decades, encompassing 11 albums and thousands of shows.

Her most recent release, Cape Breton Girl, is an invigorating collection of toe-tapping jigs, reels and strathspeys that embodies her most cherished values: family, home, tradition and faith.

MacMaster’s family and work have been intertwined since she married fellow fiddler

Donnell Leahy in 2002. She believes that incorporating family into her performances and music is the perfect way to maintain a healthy work-life balance. MacMaster and Leahy now have five beautiful children, the newest addition being born August 2012.

With a dedicated work ethic, MacMaster has earned multiple Gold albums, awards from across North America, honorary doctorates from St. Thomas University and the Atlantic School of Theology, and honorary degrees from Niagara University and Trent University. She has also received the Arts & Letters Award from the Canadian Association of New York and was made a member of the Order of Canada.

More recently, MacMaster’s talents have expanded to include co-writing and publishing the picturesque 161-page coffee table book Natalie MacMaster’s Cape Breton Aire with Pulitzer Prize-winning wordsmith Eileen McNamara and Boston-based photographer Eric Roth.

“They saved my life” –Duane Eddy

At Williamson Medical Center, our story is best told by our patients.

They have been here. They know us well.

To Deed and Duane Eddy, Williamson Medical Center is where Duane’s life was saved when he suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

What started out as back pain ended with Duane collapsing at our front door.

One more red light and he wouldn’t have made it, his doctors told him.

What happened over the next few days, the Eddys describe as a symphony. Nurses, doctors and hospital staff working together to produce a beautiful outcome that meant Duane walked out of the hospital and back on stage where he belongs.

We want to hear your story.

Their Decca label debut, Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (Decca/Universal), earned them two GRAMMY® nominations.

Beyond making music, giving back is also important to Boyz II Men — the group has its own charity, Boyz II Men House. which lends support to individuals and organizations that focus on improving quality of life and helping to unlock human potential, while contributing to the health and vitality of those in need.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

CHI L D R E N’S S E R I ES

STREET THEATRE COMPANY Street Theatre Company is a professional nonprofit arts organization dedicated to pioneering innovative modern musical theatre in Nashville.

Our aim is to engage our audience with universal stories that speak to the human experience and challenge conversation, to support local artists, to provide arts education to children of all ages, and to foster a new generation of theater arts participants and supporters.

There is no doubt that Music City has a lot of entertainment options. In this day and age of video games, streaming video, and social media, it sometimes seems easier to just stay home for entertainment. So why get off the couch and leave the house to see live theatre?

46

M A RC H 2 0 1 5

Because the world-class talent you find downtown on Broadway is also right onstage at Street Theatre Company. But more importantly, live theater does one thing like nothing else: it creates a unique shared experience. A show may run for three weeks or three years, but no two shows are ever the same. Why? Because of you — the audience — and the artists!

We hope that by producing high-quality, compelling theater, we can encourage you to call your friends, put on your coats, and come share these unique moments. Experience something special with the other audience members sitting next to you. How cool is that?
